Do protons circle the nucles of an atom?
No, Electrons do. Protons do not orbit around the nucleus of atom. It is electron which moves around the nucleus.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
What is the difference between the plum pudding and the nuclear model of an atom?
- Plum pudding model: electrons are included in a positive sphere.- The Bohr model consider that electrons are in a continuous movement around the atomic nucleus.
Why it is so much easier to remove an elcetron from an atom of large atomic weight thabn it is to remove proton?
electrons orbit the nucleus so they come "loose" easier than the protons, which are held in place by a thing called "strong force". strong force is greater than the force holding an electron in orbit around the nucleus.
What planet rotates around Venus?
Yes, Venus is a planet that orbits the sun.
Is protons the only thing that orbits around the nucleus of an atom?
actually protons exist inside the nucleus not outside. Electrons are the ones that exist outside and they don't orbit they are more like clouds around the nucleus,and nothing orbits the atom's nucleus.
Is it true that electrons and protons of an atomo are located in the nucleus?
no the only thing located in the nucleus are neutrons and protons. Electrons rotate around the nucleus in orbitals or electron clouds.
Do protons circle the nucles of an atom?
No, Electrons do. Protons do not orbit around the nucleus of atom. It is electron which moves around the nucleus.
Why do electrons not spiral into the nucleus?
No one knows. The fact that it doesn't has been the source of much of the uncertainty principal & quantum mechanics. One thing you should know is that the electron is NOT a tiny planet spinning around the nucleus. In fact the "stuff" of electrons is NOT the "stuff" of the nucleus (quarks) ... maybe they repel each other, maybe they just can't be in the same place.
How was Daltons atomic theory similar to democritus's atomic theory?
It described a nucleus surrounded by a large volume of space.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
What three thing make up an atom?
A nucleus containing protons and nuetrons. Also, electrons which are in the electron clouds outside of the nucleus.
What is the thing that moves in an orbit around something?
An object that orbits around another - is called a satellite.
What surrounds the protons and the neutrons in an atom?
The protons and neutrons in an atom are the nucleus of it, so the thing that is surrounding it are the electrons.
What is between electrons and the nucleus?
There is electron charge (and mass) everywhere inside the atom. It is not empty space.There is electronic charge density in the entire volume of an atom. The electrons are said to orbit the nucleus, but that is a short hand description of reality. Reality is described by quantum mechanics and the representation of the location of the electrons is more like a diffuse cloud throughout the atom.Empty space. Nothing.Nothing. Empty space.Nothing between the electrons and the nucleus is nothing99.9% of that space has no matter in it
Does a neutron atom have as many neutrons as electrons?
There is no such thing as a neutron atom. A neuton is a particle that exists within the nucleus of an atom.
Why cesium has a lower first ionization energy then rubidium?
Caesium has more electron levels than rubidium, because the electrons are further away the attraction between the outer electrons and protons in the nucleus is less. But that's not just the answer. There is also a thing called electron shielding, the negative charges, of the electrons in the energy levels closer to the nucleus, sort of repel the outer electrons so they can't get closer to the nucleus. Since the electrons are further away and have the attraction from the positively charged nucleus reduced, it takes less energy to break the attraction for caesium than rubidium.
